When selecting a bicycle for a beginner, there are several factors to consider, including the type of riding the person will be doing, their fitness level, and their budget. For those new to cycling, a hybrid bike is often a good choice. Hybrid bikes combine features of both road bikes and mountain bikes, making them suitable for a variety of surfaces. They are also relatively comfortable to ride, with an upright riding position that puts less strain on the back and neck.
Another important consideration for beginners is the size of the bike. A bike that is too large or too small can be difficult to control and uncomfortable to ride. A good way to determine the correct bike size is to measure the rider’s inseam and then use a bike size chart to find the corresponding bike size.
